Darkflash E400 active CPU cooling (white)
DarkFlash E400 is an active CPU cooling that combines great performance with a modern design. The distinguishing feature of this model is the dot-matrix LED panel on top of the heatsink. It displays the current CPU temperature, so you can quickly assess what conditions your CPU is operating under - without running additional software. The information is presented in a simple way and is visible even in low light.
Effective heat dissipation and wide compatibility
Responsible for cooling is an aluminum heatsink supported by four 6mm copper heat pipes that are in direct contact with the processor. This design enables fast heat dissipation from the surface of the CPU and supports units with a TDP of up to 230 watts. The cooling is compatible with a wide range of sockets: Intel LGA 115X / 1366 / 1700 / 18XX and AMD AM4 / AM5, so you can easily fit it into most popular motherboards.
Quiet PWM fan and ARGB backlighting
A 120-millimeter fan with adjustable speed from 800 to 2000 RPM is responsible for airflow. Thanks to the use of a hydrodynamic bearing, the fan runs quietly (37.48 dBA maximum) and is estimated to last 40,000 hours. The fan blades are designed to evenly disperse the light from the ARGB backlighting, which can be synchronized with popular motherboard manufacturers' systems such as ASUS Aura Sync, MSI Mystic Light, Gigabyte RGB Fusion and ASRock Polychrome. The backlight works through a 3-pin 5V ARGB header and is not compatible with 12V RGB.
Smart control and full personalization
There is also dedicated software at the user's disposal to select the data displayed on the top LED screen, change the temperature units (°C/°F), and set the real-time rotation of various parameters.

How to use
Mount the cooler according to the motherboard and case layout: remove the original stock cooler or existing heatsink, apply a thin, even layer of thermal paste on the CPU heatspreader, position the Darkflash E400 over the socket and secure it using the supplied mounting brackets and screws that match the motherboard socket type. Connect the fan cable to the CPU fan header on the motherboard to enable automatic speed control. Ensure the cooler clears memory modules and RAM heatsinks and verify case airflow for optimal performance.
Recommendations
For reliable everyday performance, verify clearance dimensions in your case and confirm socket compatibility before installation. Regularly clean dust from the fan and fin stack and check that the fan power connector remains properly seated on the CPU fan header.
